Dover Police Department Chief James Hosfelt gives his New Year's resolution for 2013.
On behalf of my coworkers at the Dover Police Department, I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year for 2013. Going forward I am excited about continuing the many partnerships we have developed over the past few years, not only with other federal and state law enforcement agencies, but with our community partners as well.
For the first time in a very long time the Dover Police Department will have a full complement of police officers, totaling 93, heading into the New Year.
This past year, 2012, saw Dover Police Officers responding to another year with record numbers of complaints. In spite of the increased workload and the fact that we worked with fewer officers, we continued to solve crime at some extraordinary rates.
As Chief of Police, I am very proud of what these men and women were able to accomplish this year. They are an incredible group of people and I consider myself fortunate to work with them on a daily basis.
Moving forward however, the challenge becomes preventing and reducing crime, not just solving it. My New Year's Resolution for 2013 will be moving the department in a direction aimed at crime reduction and prevention through the use of crime analysis. Through crime analysis, which is identifying and analyzing crime patterns and trends in the community, we can deploy our resources in a more effective manner which will allow us to better serve the residents of Dover.
Again, Happy New Year and may God bless all of us in 2013.

Excessive sweating may be the result of a problem with your sympathetic nervous system. Your genes may play a part in this too. It can also be caused by underlying conditions such as anxiety, low blood sugar, hyperthyroidism, cancer, Parkinson's disease, acromegaly, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome, and heart attacks. An injury to your spinal cord can cause excessive sweating and so can certain medications and drug or alcohol withdrawal. Obesity, pregnancy, and menopause are other triggers.
It's normal for all of us to sweat more under certain circumstances – say, when the weather is hot or when we are exercising, under emotional stress, or eating spicy foods. While most of us go about our day without giving sweating a second thought, it can become a source of mortification for people who sweat excessively, a condition that's medically known as hyperhidrosis. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat to the point of dripping – as if the sweat glands are constantly active.
If the thought of clammy hands or foggy underarms is keeping you up at night or forcing you to avoid social contact, it's time to delve deeper and find what could be causing it. Hyperhidrosis can take on two forms. When the excessive sweating is generalized, occurring all over the body, and triggered by an underlying condition, it is known as secondary hyperhidrosis . It can be caused by: 1secondary hyperhidrosis
A body mass index between 30 and 40 would indicate that you're obese. 2 And all those extra pounds can cause physical symptoms like increased sweating, breathlessness, snoring, and joint and back pain. It might also make you feel tired and hit your confidence levels. 3
Menopause can bring on hot flashes for many women. You may suddenly feel hot in your upper body or all over. You then get red blotches on your back, chest, and arms, followed by heavy sweats and cold shivers. Hot flashes can last anywhere between 30 seconds and 10 minutes and their frequency can vary from woman to woman. 4
We all know that your hormones can run amok during pregnancy and trigger symptoms like tender breasts and nausea. These hormonal changes can also make your sweat glands more active. This can mean increased sweating. Your vaginal and cervical secretions may also increase during this time. 5
People who have anxiety disorders experience dread and fear when faced with certain situations or objects. Physical reactions like sweating and rapid heartbeats are common when confronted with something that triggers their anxiety. 6 For instance, those with social anxiety disorder may experience increased sweating as well as other symptoms like nausea, trembling, or blushing when they're around people while those with panic disorder may experience sweating, shortness of breath, trembling, a pounding heart etc. when they have a panic attack. 7
UPDATE (29, March 21:26 UTC): MailChimp said in a tweet that "cryptocurrency-related information isn't necessarily prohibited," provided the sender is not selling, trading, storing or marketing cryptocurrencies.
Email distribution company MailChimp will bar marketing campaigns for cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings starting next month.
In an email sent to a MailChimp customer and obtained by CoinDesk, the company said that it will no longer allow its service to be used for crypto campaigns because they are "too frequently associated with scams, fraud, phishing, and potentially misleading business practices."
The policy change will take effect on April 30, according to the email.
"We made this decision to update our Acceptable Use Policy in order to protect the millions of businesses that use MailChimp for their marketing," the email added.The company also made a point to note that "we recognize blockchain technology is in its infancy and has tremendous potential."
The prohibition is reflected in
Embellished hoop earrings Erdem 7HMeF0N
, which was updated on Thursday and states:
The firm – which allows customers to automate email campaigns and is frequently used for marketing purposes – is the latest to put in place a ban on cryptocurrency-related ads. Since January, several high-profile companies have taken similar steps, including

Disciplinary Major or Minor
(Bachelor of Arts)
Professors — Jeffrey Entwistle, Laura Riddle
Associate Professors — R. Michael Ingraham (chair), Kaoime Malloy, John Mariano
Lecturer — Denise Carlson-Gardner
Web site: www.uwgb.edu/performarts/
Theatre Major Requirements | Theatre Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
Students pursuing the bachelor's degree in Theatre will choose one of four areas of emphasis:
- Performance (acting/directing)
- Design/Technical Theatre
- Musical Theatre
- Theatre Studies
Each emphasis provides a rigorous artistic/academic environment for the study and production of all forms of theatre. Techniques learned in the classroom are applied in production work giving students an abundance of practical experience. Each year a combination of classic, modern, experimental and musical theatre pieces are selected to give students a diverse background in dramatic literature and styles.
The interdisciplinary focus of the University is an ideal setting for the highly collaborative study and practice of theatre. Many of our productions involve collaborations with University academic programs and student or community organizations. Theatre majors must complete an interdisciplinary minor.
Theatre faculty members at UW-Green Bay believe that the best way to learn theatre is to create theatre. Students are encouraged to participate in the four mainstage (faculty directed) productions each year. Studio (student directed and designed) productions provide additional opportunities for involvement. Casting and production work is open to all students and practicum credit is available for work on mainstage productions. The Theatre program is an active participant in the Kennedy Center's American College Theatre Festival, a national organization in support of excellence in university theatre.
Campus facilities in Theatre Hall include the 450-seat proscenium University Theatre, the black-box Experimental Theatre, acting and dance studios, a CADD design lab and scene and costume shops. The Weidner Center for the Performing Arts includes as additional performing arts spaces the 2,000-seat Cofrin Family Hall and Jean Weidner Theatre, a 100-seat flexible performance and classroom space.
Students receive quality training from working professionals enhanced by guest artists, master classes, and a biannual travel course to Broadway. Student theatre and dance organizations sponsor trips to regional theatres, seminars and workshops, and the annual Danceworks concert showcasing student choreography and dance in a wide variety of styles.
UW-Green Bay Theatre graduates typically pursue internships and jobs in the entertainment industry. Students are encouraged to pursue such opportunities in the summers before graduation and advanced course work in audition and portfolio prepares them for the competitive challenges ahead.

WASHINGTON --Facing a fresh deadline, House Speaker John Boehner says Republicans would vote to extend the government's ability to borrow money for six weeks - but only if President Barack Obama first agrees to fresh negotiations on spending cuts. Under the Republican plan, the partial government shutdown would continue.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama "would likely sign" a clean bill increasing the debt cap. He said the president also wants Republicans to reopen the government. But he did not rule out Obama agreeing to the debt ceiling proposal if the government remains closed.
Carney says the White House has yet to see a specific proposal from House Republicans. Boehner and other members of his caucus are scheduled to meet with the president at the White House Thursday afternoon.

Just Life: Judge me not
When I became a mother I can't say that I was the first one in my generation of friends and family to have kids ... but it was close.
A few of my friends became parents before I did and I was in awe. I didn't know squat about being a parent and in all honesty, up until the day that the little stick in the bathroom went from blank to "pink" I didn't really know if I wanted to be a parent.
My mother was/is an amazing parent but I was never the type of woman who longed to be "mommy." I never cooed when I saw other babies and the sound of kids having a tantrum in the candy aisle sent me running for the produce section in the grocery store.
I actually remember having a conversation with my Grandma Bess about kids. I was home from college for the holidays, wearing my favorite pair of overalls and sipping hot, black tea while sitting on her couch in the living room. It was a pea-green, crushed velvet couch that still had the thick plastic cover wrapped tightly around the cushions. Just in case, no doubt, one of her six grandchildren spilled something while sitting on the couch. The coffee table in front of the couch was clear, beveled glass held up by gold legs. I remember I was staring at the fake bunch of purple glass grapes when she asked me if I was going to have kids.
My head snapped up and I let out a resounding, "No, never!" I explained to her that I was going to be a world traveler and would be happy to pick up trinkets for my nieces and nephews but never, ever would I have kids.
Never say "never" because about 10 years after I was so emphatic with my grandmother, I became a mother. I became a mother and it was the most difficult thing I had ever done in my life.
No matter how many books are written on the subject of parenthood you really don't know what you are getting into until you are in it. Any parent will tell you the same thing.
And unfortunately, many people who are not parents feel that they have to share what they think they know about parenting with you whether you want to hear it or not.
Maybe one day those people who think they know how to be a parent even though they do not have any kids will one day themselves be a mommy or daddy.
Or maybe they won't. Either way, when a non-parent spews judgment on how another person is raising his or her kids, it is really, really irritating.
My brother was the one who never wanted kids but knew absolutely everything about raising teenage boys. It's no secret that being a single mother raising the two-man swarm was no easy task. but did I ever get any help from the brother in question? No. Only judgment.
It was like being in front of the Honorable Joe Wapner from "People's Court." Same story with my other sibling. She eventually had a child who was several years younger than his cousins but as far as parenting my kids … in her eyes I did nothing right.
I'm sure there are many of you out there who are parents who have had someone judge you even if they have not been in your shoes. All I have to say is "Shame on them."
So for those of you out there who have judged a parent on his or her parenting style and are now parents yourselves … pick up the phone and apologize to them.
When you take your toddler into a store and she has a meltdown or when you come home and smell something "funny" on the breath of your teen or you get a call from the high school telling you that your son may not graduate with the rest of his class … you will remember all those parents you looked down upon because you really didn't know anything about being a mom or a dad.

This part is all about collecting data. Try to sail through whatever part of your day you are investigating without doing stuff that would affect your blood sugar (no problem, right?). Don't forget to
nike free run neon pink yellow bear ACgDf
After the test (and after you get some food!) take a look at your data. Any unusual movements in your blood sugar? I would consider anything more than about 30-40 mg/dl of movement something to address. And remember where I talked about repeating the test? This would be a good place to think about double checking. Do you see that same unusual movement again at a similar time on another day? If so, you can be pretty confident that your basal insulin should be adjusted.
What if you wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) ? Do you still have to do all of this testing? In my personal opinion, yes, but maybe not as frequently.
CGM's provide a very useful layer of information, but they do not measure actual blood glucose. They measure something called interstitial fluid , which has a close relationship to the amount of glucose in your blood, but it's not the same thing.
When it comes to adjusting your basal insulin you want your test results to be as reliable and accurate as possible. With that being said, a CGM can ease the pain of basal rate testing as long as it's tracking accurately. In the end, the decision is up to you.
Do you trust what you see? Even so, mix in some regular BG checks to be sure.
With that in mind, a CGM can give you tons of information during pockets of the day or night that will be very valuable for your basal rate testing.
Your first instinct will be to make big sweeping changes in your basal insulin. Don't do it! Take it slow and easy, and talk things over with your doctor or care team.
It's pretty typical to apply small changes, usually 10% or less, and then see how it goes. It can be a real test of your patience to make changes so slowly, but it's better than making big changes that can goof you up.
Better safe than sorry, especially if your conclusions from the basal rate test were wrong.
Making very specific basal rate adjustments is one area where pump therapy really shines. With an insulinpump you can program very different basal insulin amounts for each hour of the day (or more).
There is a time-shift involved with basal settings on an insulin pump. To see a change in blood sugar at noon, you have to adjust your basal rate at least 60-90 minutes before.

President Barack Obama may have defeated opponents of his landmark health care law in the courts and at the ballot box, but the sweeping reforms still face a rocky road ahead.
Advocates are concerned that the funding needed to help expand coverage to 30 million uninsured Americans could take a hit in budget negotiations as Obama battles his Republican rivals over the so-called fiscal cliff tax and austerity crisis.
The implementation process is also expected to get messy as responsibility passes to the governors and health departments of the nation's 50 states, many of which are led by Republicans who have stridently sought to repeal the measure widely dubbed "Obamacare."
Republicans say the reforms, signed into law in March 2010, will increase costs, cause insurance premiums to rise and hurt the quality of health care.
They have especially taken issue with a key underpinning of the overhaul, an "individual mandate" requiring almost every US citizen to take out health insurance or be subject to a fine beginning January 1, 2014.
States have until December 14 to decide whether they want to set up health care exchanges that form one of the backbones of the Affordable Care Act — or if they want the federal government to handle the matter.
These exchanges are meant to help those who will be required to purchase health insurance to choose between available plans and obtain information about subsidies.
If run properly, the exchanges can help lower costs for everyone by spreading the insurance risk and reducing the number of uninsured who end up racking up unpaid bills at hospital emergency rooms.
They also help insurance companies recover the cost of new rules — also set to kick in on January 1, 2014 — that will prevent them from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, increasing rates due to gender or health status, or placing annual caps on coverage.
Another key aspect of the law that will be left up to states is whether to expand government-funded Medicaid programs that provide insurance to low-income children, adults, seniors and people with disabilities.
While federal funding will cover nearly all of the cost of expansion in the initial years, state budgets remain strained by the sluggish economy and some governors may reject the funding for political purposes.
Efforts to repeal the law collapsed when Republicans failed to defeat Obama or take control of the US Senate in the November 6 election.
While some legal challenges remain, the law's core principles were upheld by the Supreme Court in June.
However, congressional Republicans can still use oversight powers to try to complicate implementation while governors will have even more stalling power.
The Obama administration is quick to point out that millions of people have already been helped by aspects of the law that have already taken effect.
Children can no longer be denied coverage on their parent's plans due to pre-existing conditions.
Insurance companies can no longer place lifetime caps on coverage or withdraw coverage because of a simple mistake on their application form.
Some 3.1 million people got coverage after new rules required insurance companies to let them stay on their parent's plans until the age of 26, instead of losing coverage after they graduated from high school or college.
Seniors are getting reimbursed for some of their drug costs while insurance companies can no longer charge cost-sharing 'co-pays' for many preventative health care services.
Meanwhile, insurance companies have to justify significant rate hikes and must send out rebate checks if they spend more than 20 percent of their funds on administrative costs.

A term used in the seduction community. Approach invitation is best defined as a sign that a woman is interested in a man, and she wants him to approach her. Approach invitations come in many ways. They include prolonged eye contact, being unnecessary close to the man in particular, unnecessary hair touching/tossing, loud talking/laughing when near. In other words, the woman is trying to get his attention in a subtle, or not so subtle way. Approach invitations don't last forever though, the woman might get frustrated when her invitation is ignored after a short amount of time, and she will give up. The man needs to recognize these signs and approach her fast.
"James, stop standing against the bar like a police officer! Can't you see that HB over there that keeps glancing over to you and tossing her hair like crazy. She's giving you a massive approach invitation. Go talk to her and make her happy while you still can, you blind idiot."

Sprint fans who have been patiently waiting for a next-generation, high-end Android phone may finally get their wish in a matter of weeks at CTIA. A special invite was sent out today for a press event on March 22nd where CEO Dan Hesse will be showcasing their latest innovations. The exclusive invite was received by several Android blogs, so we are hoping that Sprint has some surprises in store for us.
Our rumor that Sprint might unveil an Android phone with a 3D display were way off and instead we got the Kyocera Echo announcement last month. That phone contained an interesting dual-display design, but the it also featured an old first-generation Snapdragon processor and the overall specs failed to impress the hardcore geeks.
We have absolutely zero information at this time about what Sprint is planning, but last year they used the show to announce the HTC EVO 4G which went on to become their best selling smartphone. The rumors of an EVO 2 have been growing louder and it makes perfect sense that Sprint could use this year's CTIA to reveal the highly anticipated sequel.
HTC is most definitely working on a dual-core superphone, codenamed Pyramid, and we assume that design would most likely become the base platform for the EVO 2. I'd expect an oversized device that matches the original EVO with updated specs like a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor and 4.3 inch qHD display.
Another possible high-end phone that might get announced at this event is the Galaxy S II, but it will be hard for Samsung to produce a Sprint phone that can surpass the hype that an EVO 2 would generate.
If you are on Sprint and looking to upgrade your Android phone, what do you hope they announce at CTIA? Will the HTC EVO 2 satisfy your needs or do you want to see something completely different? For those waiting on the EVO 2, what specs do you hope Sprint includes for their next flagship phone?

With a fishing pole in his hands, Wayne Johnston of Lamar was just one of more than 200 veterans who fished during the second annual Rainbows for Veterans event on Saturday.
The event took place at the Neosho National Fish Hatchery and was co-sponsored by U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Missouri Department of Conservation, the Friends of the Neosho Fish Hatchery organization and Sugar Creek Gobblers, the McDonald County chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. The event was a way of thanking all the veterans for their service.
"I served from 1966-1970 in the U.S. Navy submarine force and then I went to Joplin to the reserves from 1970-74," he said.
Johnston noted he did not go to Vietnam, but served aboard nuclear submarines.
"We were in the Atlantic Ocean," Johnston said. "We took care of the Atlantic Ocean."
Johnston said he came last year as part of the Patriot Guard and didn't fish. But this year, he opted to fish.
"So far, I caught two," he said with a smile on his face.
Johnston applauded the organizations and the volunteers for their efforts in recognizing veterans and giving them a chance to fish. Each veteran could catch up to four rainbow trout, have them cleaned and take them home with them.
"I think that it is great that they do this for our veterans down here," Johnston said. "And I just want to be a part of it and I like the fact that we got the veterans coming from Mt. Vernon, coming here, the older veterans."
Johnston said he was proud of this event and the thanking of other veterans as well.
"One of the reasons that I got involved with veterans — and I didn't do that until about five years ago — is because my brother was in Vietnam, he is three years younger than me, he was in the Navy," he said. "And when our veterans came home from Vietnam, they weren't recognized, they were kind of shunned to some extent. I personally felt that I am not going to let our military men and women come back from Afghanistan, Iraq, not be recognized and thank them for appreciations for them serving, willing to leave their families and go and fight for our freedoms. And I just really appreciate that. I am glad that the country is noticing as a whole that our veterans are very important to us. Our service men and women and what they do because nowadays they are strictly volunteer, I volunteered when I joined back then, but I had a lot of incentive, because if you didn't volunteer you were probably going to be drafted anyway. But nowadays our men and women are volunteers and I just really appreciate them. They don't have to do it, but they do it to serve our country and protect our freedoms."
Another veteran, Carlton "Peanut" Lewis, snagged a fish nearly right after he put his fishing line into the water. Lewis served in the U.S. Air Force from 1971-1975.
"I never made it across the big water, I was stationed in the states, Alaska is the only exciting place I got to go," said Lewis.
He also applauded the efforts for the event.
"It is good for the town, good for the people to enjoy what they have here," he said.
Asked what Lewis was going to do with the fish he caught, he noted he was going to eat them Saturday night.
"I have never eaten trout before, so I am going to try it," he said.

Through its online Legislative Action Center, the National Shooting Sports Foundation offers a convenient way for supporters of the Second Amendment to urge their legislators to oppose severely restrictive firearms bills that have been introduced in the U.S. Congress and in many states.
NSSF's Legislative Action Center is the industry's one-stop hub for finding contact information for federal and state legislators, learning about newly introduced firearms legislation and taking action--sending a letter or making a phone call to lawmakers. Visitors can use both the Research State and Federal Legislation and Industry-Relevant Federal Legislation tools for tracking alarming efforts to restrict ownership and use of semiautomatic rifles and ammunition.
Restrictive gun-control legislation has been introduced throughout the country, including in the U.S. Congress and in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota and New Jersey. Other states are expected to follow suit. New York has already hastily passed new anti-gun laws, the severe impacts of which are only just being realized. In response, firearms owners are turning out by the thousands at state hearings, but just as important is letting legislators know by letter or phone call that these proposed bills are misguided, unwarranted and an assault on Second Amendment rights.
NSSF's Legislative Action Center provides a core letter, which can be expanded and personalized, that urges legislators to not waste time and public resources on reinstating failed gun-control measures, such as the so-called "assault weapons ban." For a decade, the ban restricted the sale of semiautomatic rifles and limited magazine capacity to 10 rounds, but according to a U.S. Department of Justice study, the ban did not reduce crime. And since the ban expired in 2004, violent crime has declined.
Legislators are urged to focus instead on effective solutions that will reduce the criminal misuse of firearms by enforcing existing gun laws, improving the background check database and preventing access to firearms by unauthorized persons, including children, at-risk individuals and prohibited persons.
Use the NSSF Legislative Action Center to call or write your federal and state legislators today and urge them to protect your right to own and use the firearms of your choice for target shooting, hunting, personal and home protection and collecting.

Black Lives Matter protesters cover Thomas Jefferson statue at the University of Virginia
Exactly one month after white supremacist and counter demonstrators clashed in the streets of Charlottesville, resulting in the death of a young woman, a different group is now targeting a Thomas Jefferson statue.
This happened on campus at the University of Virginia and it all started at about 8:00 p.m. Tuesday night.
Dozens of Black Lives Matter protesters defaced and covered the statue of one of the country's Founding Fathers, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and third President. He also founded the University of Virginia.
However, Jefferson is also known for being a slave owner.
The demonstrators posted a sign that read "TJ is a racist and rapist." They marched and chanted "no Trump, no KKK, no racist UVA." Back on August 15, President Trump referring to all the Confederate statues coming down, posed the question to reporters if statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would be next.
The statue has since been uncovered, though officials are not sure who is responsible.
This group also read demands calling on the school and the town to condemn future KKK and white supremacist rallies. There has been no comment from the school yet this morning.

Bed and Breakfast in Historic Charleston
as having "the best address in town!"
This privately-owned luxury bed and breakfast is nestled within the urban compound of Charleston's historic 1825 Edmondston-Alston House, one of the first dwellings constructed along the High Battery facing Charleston Harbor. 21 East Battery was built in 1825 during the tenure of the property's first owner, Charles Edmondston. Later, in 1838 second-owner Charles Alston extensively remodeled the house adding significant Greek Revival details.
The rear dependency originally served as a stable and livery for the wealthy rice planter's fine horses and handsome town carriages. The Quarters once housed the servants who helped make 21 East Battery one of the city's showplaces of style and gracious entertaining. Today, the property once again welcomes visitors to the city where hospitality has always been an art.

Well, that is what it has felt like here, with 10 inches of rain in 72 hours. We got lucky---just a LITTLE water in the basement---others were totally flooded.
Tomorrow I leave for NYC, where I will do a video-taped interview with Barnes & Noble, also an interview with Time (magazine) for Kids, and then out to Long Island to speak at a teachers' conference. Home Saturday, just in time to see my son and his friend who are coming overnight Saturday night and will take me to brunch Sunday for my birthday; then next week I go briefly to Harrisonburg, Virginia. It's a busy, busy spring---but most of it good stuff.
And crocuses are blooming like crazy in my yard.

Expect to see some sun but also some scattered showers and storms today and over the weekend.
You might also notice the temperatures are a degree or two cooler than they have been for the past week.
South Florida's Friday forecast calls for partly sunny skies with afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s and overnight readings in the upper 70s. There is a 20 percent chance of rain.
The rain chance increases to 30 to 40 percent on Saturday and Sunday.
Central Florida's Friday forecast: Mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, lows in the mid 70s and a 40 percent chance of showers and storms. While the forecast is similar for Saturday, the chance of rain decreases on Sunday.
Big Bad Betsy: Insights from Jim Lushine, our resident weather expert:
Sunday, Sept 8, is the 48th anniversary of the landfall of "Big Bad" Betsy, a major hurricane that struck Key Largo.One of its distinctions is that it was the first billion dollar hurricane in U.S. history (in 1965 dollars).
It was a Category 3 hurricane at landfall in Florida and was the last major hurricane to strike South Florida until Andrew 27 years later. That was the longest time period between South Florida major hurricanes in the last 100 years.

Source: press release from Dr. Sarah Myhill, Nov 28, 2012
Upper Weston Llangunllo Knighton Powys Wales LD7 1SL
01547 550 331 www.DrMyhill.co.uk
Subject: Discussion of the release of the paper:
"Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction in the treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) – a clinical audit" Int J Clin Exp Med 2013;6 (1):1-15. Sarah Myhill, Norman E Booth, John McLaren-Howard.
We are pleased to announce our third publication which looks at targeting mitochondrial dysfunction in the treatment of ME/CFS.
Our first two papers established that mitochondrial dysfunction is a central pathophysiological lesion [pathological change] in ME/CFS: http://www.ijcem.com/files/IJCEM812001.pdf and http://www.ijcem.com/files/IJCEM1204005.pdf
Those papers demonstrated that:
• The patients with the worst levels of fatigue had the worst levels of mitochondrial (energy) function and vice versa.
• There was a very strong relationship between mitochondrial energy scores and patient fatigue scores,
• And these studies clearly place ME/CFS as a physical disorder.
Mitochondrial (energy) function scores are calculated from the ATP profile test. This is a test that measures:
• How efficiently mitochondria can make ATP,
• How well they move ATP from the mitochondria into the cell where it is needed and recycled back,
• And also how efficiently energy can be released from ATP once in the cell.
These are important measurements because from them one can further deduce whether the mitochondria are "going slow'' either:
• Because they are lacking the "raw materials'' to "do the job'',
• Or because they are "blocked'' from doing their ''job''. This ''blockage'' could result either from an external source [a toxin] or from an internal source, notably the fermenting gut.
Knowing and understanding what the biochemical lesions [problems] are, and whether they derive from "internal'' or "external'' sources, means that treatment packages can be tailored to individual patients.
The aim of this third study was, therefore, to see:
• How well patients respond to this tailored package of treatments
• And what impact, if any, did those treatment packages have on both the ATP profile test results and also on the patient fatigue scores.
The nature of this study was an audit – that is to say clinical decisions were made for the benefit of the patient, not for the doctor or researchers.
However, the information that this audit yields is very encouraging. Essentially what is shown is that:
• Those patients who are able stick to the demanding treatment packages, involving a ''stone age'' low carbohydrate diet, discipline about sleep and pacing, together with a package of nutritional supplements, do indeed improve biochemically reliably well. That is to say their ATP Profile test results improve consequentially with their treatment package compliance.
• Moreover, most of these biochemical improvements were accompanied by clinical improvements, as measured by patient fatigue scores.
• It was also notable that four patients who did not adhere to the treatment packages either saw no improvement or indeed worsened.
In a clinical setting, therefore, it is incumbent upon the physician both to understand the difficulties that patients face with such a wide-ranging treatment package and also to support fully the patient with the challenges they face.
It is clear from these studies that mitochondrial function is not the only factor in ME/CFS, but it is an important one and correcting mitochondrial function is an essential part of improving functionality and therefore of recovery.
Indeed it is my personal view that to put a patient on a graded exercise program [aka graded exercise therapy or GET] without first checking these essential biochemical parameters is not good medicine. One risks making the patient much more ill because the underlying cause of their disease has not been addressed.
Conversely if the improvement in mitochondrial function, consequent upon compliance with the treatment package, is not paralleled by clinical improvement then there must be a further reason for fatigue.
Discussion of reasons why correcting the mitochondrial function is not paralleled by clinical improvement and treatment options in this case.
The symptom of fatigue arises when energy demand exceeds energy delivery. The way I think about CFS/ME is that we all have a certain ''bucketful'' of energy available to us every day. Fatigue is the symptom we all experience at the end of every day which prevents us from FULLY emptying that bucket of energy.
Of course part of my job is to make that bucket of energy as full as possible through addressing mitochondrial function, sleep, thyroid function, diet and so on. This third study demonstrates that patient compliance with the tailored treatment packages will help to achieve this "filling" of the bucket.
However, we – myself and the patient – also have to look at how that energy is spent (i.e., how the bucket is emptied) and essentially it can be spent in four different ways: mentally, physically, emotionally, or immunologically.
Patients quickly work this out for themselves (it's called "survival'') and the careful spending of mental and physical energy is what we call pacing. The spending of emotional energy can be helped by a variety of means, and again patients often work this out for themselves via methods such as meditation, deep relaxation methods or perhaps talking therapies.
However, the most difficult problem to address is the immunological hole in our energy bucket.
We all know this exists – take a "normal'' person and give them a dose of 'flu and they will develop a very acute fatigue. This is because the immune system is enormously demanding of energy. Please see the following link for further discussion of this issue [see "Dr. Myhill's Notes on Fatigue, the Immune System's Energy Demands, and Rituximab"].
Therefore there is a two pronged approach – firstly to look at energy delivery systems and secondly to look at how energy is being spent.
A very useful analogy is to think of the body as a car which means that the mitochondria constitute the engine of the car, the diet the fuel, the antioxidants the cooling system, the thyroid gland the accelerator pedal, the adrenal gland the gear box, and so on.
Once the expenditure on physical, mental and emotional energy has been addressed, along with putting in place the treatment packages as tailored via the ATP Profile test results, the most common reason therefore for a failure to improve is an immunological hole in the energy bucket.
A common cause of failure to respond within this bracket of "immunological hole issues'' is a problem with the upper fermenting gut. For further details of how to treat the fermenting gut, please see: "Fermentation in the Gut & CFS as a Protective Adaptive Response."
In addition, I have seen success using pure T3 where there is evidence of hypothyroidism. [T3 is the 'active' form of thyroid hormone.]
The idea here is that there is thyroid hormone resistance – there are clear parallels here with type II diabetes in which we have essentially the same problem. In type II diabetes there are high levels of insulin, but insulin hormone receptor resistance. There is now good evidence to suggest that this resistance results from toxic stress.
Indeed this issue was flagged up in a paper published in the Lancet which looked at the levels of persistent organic pollutants [POPS] in the general population. What was found is that those with the highest levels of POPS, compared with those with the lowest level, were 38 times more likely to be diabetic. For further details of how to treat this issue of thyroid hormone receptor resistance please see "Thyroid – the Correct Prescribing of Thyroid Hormones."

Last month, we discussed low power factor and how resonance can disrupt facility operations. This month, we'll talk about harmonic filter design and various system parameters that affect filter performance.
What do harmonic filters look like? The Photo shows the input harmonic filter of a large UPS. The green arrow highlights one of the three separate inductors, and the yellow arrow highlights the associated capacitors. Why use three separate inductors rather than a single common core? The answer lies in flux density developed in the steel of the core. With a common core (EI lamination), it's difficult to achieve consistent flux density in all three legs. Because inductance in a steel core inductor varies with the permeability of the steel, the rate of change of the current flowing through the inductor, and the resulting flux density, it's easier to achieve and maintain consistent filter performance with three separate components.
What should the current through the filter look like? Hopefully, the frequency of the current will be close to the harmonic that it is intended to address, and the magnitude of current in each leg/phase will be very close. Figure 1 shows harmonic currents flowing through an UPS input harmonic filter: Phase A is 89Arms; Phase B is 86Arms; Phase C is 87Arms; and the filter current frequency is 660Hz (11th harmonic). This filter is working correctly.
Any good power monitor with harmonic analysis capability can perform these measurements. Fourier analysis of the waveform data is also very important. The monitor should be set to record the current flowing through each phase of the filter. If desired, you can use voltage channels to examine the voltage developing across individual inductors and capacitors as well as the voltage across both.
Filter design variations and performance results
What happens if a harmonic filter design uses a very small value of inductance along with a very large value of capacitance (inductors are expensive and bulky, whereas capacitors are smaller and cheaper). The following equation describes the resulting tank circuit:
hr = 1÷2ϖ√(Lcircuit Cfilter)
Potentially, we are back to the same unwanted resonance problems that existed with simple shunt capacitance.
Filter designers usually design for common applications, acknowledging that 5% impedance is fairly common for service entrance electric utility transformers. However, sites with source impedance (Z) much greater than 5% may experience more problems because the higher the source impedance — and the larger the filter capacitance — the worse the problems become. To help address this potential scenario, designers commonly add a blocking inductance. (click here to see Fig. 2) shows the use of a blocking inductance to lower upstream frequency response characteristics.
Figure 3 (click here to see Fig. 3) depicts a UPS application in a facility, and Fig. 4 (click here to see Fig. 4)on page 18 shows a plot of an unintended, momentary resonance that occurs in the facility, despite the best design efforts. The load is a 500kVA UPS that has an input harmonic filter with added blocking inductance to detune the filter against upstream harmonic sources. However, the combination of facility inductance creates a new tank circuit that is excited by the actuations of electric utility PF correction capacitors. The voltage waveform in Fig.4 shows one very severe event recorded at the UPS. The transient voltage reaches nearly 1,400Vpk and lasts milliseconds. This type of event severely strains and damages UPS input components.
Not only is the harmonic filter acting like a sink, but the circuitry also tends to amplify the transient voltages. At the moment the electric utility capacitor bank excites the transient resonant tank, the reactive (harmonic) voltages developed across all of the various inductances equals the reactive (harmonic) voltages developed across the capacitors. Where the voltages developed across each inductive element are individually small, the collective voltage developed across the capacitive elements are concentrated at a single point. As a result, it becomes very large and damaging.
There are several possible solutions to this problem, such as moving the electric utility bank farther away or increasing the ability of the UPS to sustain these events. The easiest solution in this case was to disengage the harmonic filter. There still is a transient voltage, but the magnitude drops from 1,400Vpeak to roughly 700Vpeak.
Concluding comments
The present economic downturn notwithstanding, energy prices will inevitably increase in the future. Therefore, economics will drive efforts to address both harmonics and PF. In some cases, an electric utility may mandate the use of filters to address IEEE 519 concerns and public utility filings. In addition, harmonic filters are either already incorporated into designs (UPS systems) or highly recommended (variable-speed drives). In any case, the use of capacitors and filters should continue, if not increase, in the foreseeable future.
The use of these devices is usually uneventful, and the results are pretty much what were originally intended. However, there will always be marginal applications or total misapplications. In these instances, you'll need to perform an analysis to understand the problem and implement a proper solution.
Modern power monitors are ideally suited to aid in these investigations. You will not need extremely fast sampling rates or deep record lengths. However, you will need to capture unwanted conditions or to trend data in order to identify resonant conditions.
The best place to monitor is right at the capacitor bank or harmonic filter. The current flowing through a capacitor or filter is most important. Voltages developing across inductors and capacitors will aid in problem analysis.

European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)
Utilisation of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) is in accordance with the objectives and strategic framework of Community rural development policy as defined in this Regulation.
Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) [See amending acts].
The reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of June 2003 and April 2004 focus on rural development by introducing a financial instrument and a single programme: the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). This instrument, which was established by Regulation (EC) 1290/2005, aims at strengthening the EU's rural development policy and simplifying its implementation. In particular, it improves the management and controls of the rural development policy for the period 2007-2013.
Objectives and general rules on assistance
This Regulation lays down the general rules governing Community support for rural development, financed by the EAFRD. It also defines the aims of rural development and the framework governing it.
The Fund contributes to improving:
- the competitiveness of agriculture and forestry;
- the environment and the countryside;
- the quality of life and the management of economic activity in rural areas.
The Fund complements national, regional and local actions, which contribute to Community priorities. The Commission and the Member States are also to ensure that the Fund is consistent and compatible with other Community support measures.
Strategic approach
Each Member State will draw up a national strategy plan in line with the strategic guidelines adopted by the Community. Each Member State will then submit their national strategy plan to the Commission before presenting their rural development plans. The national strategy plan covers the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2013 and will include:
- an assessment of the social, economic and environmental situation and the potential for development;
- the strategy chosen for joint action by the Community and the Member State, in line with the Community strategic guidelines;
- the thematic and territorial priorities;
- a list of the rural development programmes implementing the national strategy plan and an indicative EAFRD allocation for each programme;
- the means to ensure coordination with the other common agricultural policy instruments, the ERDF, the ESF, the CF, the European Fisheries Fund and the European Investment Bank;
- if appropriate, the budget for achieving the Convergence Objective *;
- a description of the arrangements and an indication of the amount earmarked for establishing the national rural network which brings together organisations and administrations working in the field of rural development.
Implementing the national strategic plans is carried out through rural development programmes containing a package of measures grouped around 4 axes *.
Axis 1: Improving the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sector
Aid for promoting the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sector includes:
- measures aimed at promoting knowledge and improving human potential through:
- vocational training and information actions,
- schemes promoting the establishment of young farmers (people under 40 years of age setting up for the first time as the head of a holding) and the structural adaptation of their holdings,
- early retirement for farmers deciding to cease activities with the aim of transferring their holding to other farmers, and agricultural workers who decide to definitively cease all agricultural activities. In general, beneficiaries must be at least 55 years old, but below the regular age of retirement in the Member State concerned,
- the use of advisory services by farmers and forest holders and the establishment of advisory services, farm relief and farm management support services. The use of these services should help assess and improve the performance of their holdings;
- measures aimed at restructuring and developing physical potential:
- the modernisation of agricultural and forestry holdings and the improvement of their commercial performance by, for example, bringing in new technology,
- adding value to primary agricultural and forestry production. This means supporting investments aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the processing and marketing stages of primary production whilst simplifying the eligibility criteria for investment support compared to the criteria applicable at present,
- improving and developing infrastructure related to the development and adaptation of agriculture and forestry,
- restoring agricultural production potential damaged by natural disasters and introducing appropriate prevention schemes;
- measures aimed at improving the quality of production and products:
- assist farmers in adapting to the demanding rules laid down in EU legislation, partly offsetting the additional costs or loss of revenue resulting from these new responsibilities,
- encourage farmers to participate in schemes that promote quality food and that give consumers assurances of the quality of a product or production method, providing added value to primary products and boosting trade opportunities,
- support producer groups in their information and promotion activities for products covered by food quality schemes;
provisional measures are also planned for the new Member States, regarding:
- aid for semi-subsistence holdings * undergoing restructuring,
- aid for the establishment of producer groups,
- aid for agricultural holdings undergoing restructuring, including diversification into non-agricultural activities.
Axis 2: improving the environment and the countryside
Regarding land management, the support is to contribute to sustainable development by encouraging farmers and forest holders to employ methods of land use compatible with the need to preserve the natural environment and landscape and protect and improve natural resources. The main aspects to take into account include biodiversity, the management of NATURA 2000 sites, water and soil protection and climate change mitigation. Against this backdrop, the Regulation provides, in particular, for support for mountain regions with natural handicaps and other disadvantaged areas (defined by the Member States on the basis of common objective criteria) and for agri-environmental or forest-environmental payments, which only cover commitments that go beyond the corresponding obligatory standards. Assistance also covers support for non-productive investments linked to the achievement of agri or forest-environmental commitments or the achievement of other agri-environmental objectives, as well as measures aimed at improving forestry resources with an environmental objective (support for the first afforestation of agricultural land, establishment of agroforestry systems or restoring forestry potential and preventing natural disasters).
All beneficiaries receiving aid in the name of improving the environment and the countryside are required, throughout the whole of the holding, to comply with the regulatory obligations on management (in the areas of health, the environment and animal welfare) and the good agricultural and environmental conditions laid down in the Regulation on the single payment (Regulation No 73/2009).
Axis 3: quality of life in rural areas and diversification of the rural economy
Regarding the diversification of the rural economy, the Regulation contains measures on:
- diversification towards non-agricultural activities, support for the establishment and development of micro-businesses, promotion of tourism and the protection, development and management of the natural heritage that contributes to sustainable economic development;
- improving the quality of life in rural areas, with particular focus on renovating and developing villages and preserving and making the best use of the rural heritage; and
- acquiring skills and running activities in order to prepare and implement the local development strategy.
Axis 4: LEADER
The aid allocated under the LEADER axis relates to:
- the implementation of local development strategies through public-private partnerships called "local action groups". The strategies applied to clearly designated rural territories must achieve the objectives of at least one of the three preceeding axes;
- the local action groups also have the option to implement inter-territorial or transnational cooperation projects.
EARDF Financial participation
The EARDF has been allocated a budget of EUR 96.3 billion (current price) for the period 2007-2013, or 20 % of the funds dedicated to the CAP. At the initiative of the Member States, the Fund may finance, up to a ceiling of 4 % of the total amount for each programme, measures concerning the preparation, management, monitoring, evaluation, publicising and control of programme assistance.
For the period 2007-2013, the amount of Community support to rural development, its annual breakdown and the minimum amount to be concentrated in regions eligible under the Convergence Objective * are determined by the Council. It acts by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, in accordance with the financial perspective for the period 2007 to 2013 and the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure. Member States also take account of the amounts from modulation * in the programming. The Commission also makes sure that the total amount of allocations from the EAFRD and other Community Funds such as the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund stay within specific economic parameters.
Under the principle of shared management between the Commission and the Member States, the Member States must appoint, for each rural development programme: a management authority, a paying agency and a certification body. They are also tasked with providing information and publicity on co-financed schemes. Each Member State must also set up a monitoring committee to ensure the programme is implemented effectively. In addition, the management authority for each programme must send an annual report to the Commission on the implementation of the programme.
The rural development policy and its programmes are evaluated ex ante, mid-term and ex post. These evaluations aim to improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of rural development programmes. They also aim to draw lessons for rural development policy by identifying the factors that have contributed to the success or failure of programme implementation, the socio-economic impact and the impact on Community priorities.
The EARDF is, along with the EAGF (European Agricultural Guarantee Fund), one of the two financial instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) established by Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005. From 1 January 2007, these two funds replace the EAGGF Guidance section and the EAGGF Guarantee section respectively.
The EARDF supports rural development, the second pillar of the CAP, which has been introduced progressively since the 1970's and institutionalised in 1997 with Agenda 2000.
Key terms used in the act
- Convergence Objective: the objective of the action for the least developed Member States and regions according to the Community legislation governing the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF) for the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2013.
- Semi-subsistence farming: agricultural holdings which produce primarily for their own consumption and also market a proportion of their output.
- Axis: a coherent group of measures with specific goals resulting directly from their implementation and contributing to one or more of the objectives set out in Article 4.
- Modulation: this involves a progressive mechanism which aims to reduce direct payments to farmers and to transfer corresponding appropriations to rural development.

One Direction took the chance to pull pranks on their fellow songwriters while recording their second album, by penning a string of lewd lyrics.
The singers had more creative control over the sophomore record, Take Me Home, than on their debut, and helped write several of the disc's tracks alongside writers including Ed Sheeran and pop rockers McFly.
But they proved their maturity levels have not quite caught up with their responsibilities - they messed around during writing sessions to come up with rude rhymes.
Liam Payne tells Britain's Daily Star, "We were more involved this time round as we were so nervous when we made the first album.
"Usually we write some rude lyrics - there's a lot of things that rhyme with poo. You can come out with something which someone else in the band might knock down, but it leads to something else."

Analyzing the History of Ryan Gosling's Ever-Moving Hair Part
From Mickey Mouse Club to Gangster Squad: a photographic journey through a man's hair.
What makes Ryan Gosling Ryan Gosling? George Clooney thinks it's "the way he dresses and his hair," and he is half correct: Anyone can buy clothes, but Gosling's hair is truly unique. Specifically, the part in his hair. In his twenty years as a working actor, he has taken on a wide variety of parts, and his part has shifted along with his onscreen personality: Chasing his part is like chasing the wind. In the days of Channing Tatum's nondescript, grown-out crew cut, Gosling's itinerant part makes a statement in every role. In honor of his thoroughly parted performance in Gangster Squad, which comes out this weekend, let us walk together through the history of Ryan Gosling's hair part. It is a very well-defined path.
Mickey Mouse Club (1993):
This is where it all starts. Consider it his baseline part. Almost a complete left-side part, with a little insouciant swoop that resembles a surfing barrel obstructing the part a bit. It's hard to say if this was the fashion for Canadian youths at the time, but that denim shirt most definitely was.
Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1995)
Like most teens, Gosling was clearly experimenting with his own identity. It is two years later, and he is trying to see what life is like as a right-part guy. Anyone who has ever tried to change the part in their hair knows that this is far more complicated than just getting a haircut: a painful reorientation of scalp momentum is necessary, but even at 15, Gosling was willing to endure discomfort to find out who he truly is. The new look makes him discernibly more dangerous: The spooky, scary almost-center-but-slightly-to-the-right part lets you know that you should be afraid of the dark.
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues (1996)
And yet, a year later, he decides it is better to fit in. In the mid-nineties, the center part was king, and here is Gosling doing his best Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Frankenstein and Me (1997)
It's alive! It's alive! This marks the sad period in Gosling's career in which a part was no match for his bangs. His forehead was missed — but was set to return with a vengeance!
Breaker High (1998)
There it is! It's 1998, which meant it was time for Gosling to go full-mushroom (note how short the hair is on the sides). Technically an off-center butt-cut, he is flirting with a center part but not entirely ready to commit. Such indecision would vanish in his later indie years.
Young Hercules (1999)
Maybe as a result of the uncertainty of playing a half-god, Gosling's part moved an inch or two to the right. This represents the least clearly defined part of his career. Even Hercules can't wrangle Hercules's hair.
Remember the Titans (2000)
And just like that, Gosling's hair is the mirror image of his Herculean hair. He was probably just copying the film's true hair star: Sunshine.
The Believer (2001)
This is the reset. Gosling had been parting his whole life, and at 21, he needed to take a break — to part ways with the part, if you will. This marked the beginning of three years of Ryan Gosling partlessness (and the beginning of his more serious, adult acting career, but that is secondary). It was one of the darkest times in our history.
The Notebook (2004)
It shouldn't come as a surprise that The Notebook felt like a comeback of sorts for Ry, as finally a part returned. This photo shows what happens when a lovable side part is left unmaintained because of years of loneliness.
Half Nelson (2006)
It's easy to see this picture and say, "What are you talking about? There is no part." Which is what makes this haircut so brilliant: Gosling's hair is cut for a traditional side part; however, his character is too run down to put in the necessary combing effort — you know, because of all that crack.
Lars and the Real Girl (2007)
There is something called "Hair Part Theory." It asserts, among many things, that men with left parts are more successful and are perceived as more masculine. (The classic example of this is that Clark Kent has a right part, while Superman has a left.) Of course poor Lars would part his hair on the right.
Dead Man's Bones (2009)
For much of Gosling's run as the lead singer of Dead Man's Bones, he rocked the traditional left-side part. It worked both because it fit with the band's vaguely fifties feel and because it suggests an innocence that echoes their use of a children's choir.
Blue Valentine (2010)
Where most left-side parts start all the way to the side, Gosling's often starts closer to the middle. This is because his head is superhumanly oval-shaped. Eggs look at his head and say, "You win, sir."
Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)
This is the peak of Ryan Gosling's side-part game and marks what seems to be a full commitment to the left side. With its very short sides and a part that is as well defined as his abs, it immediately asserts his character's confidence. Before he opens his mouth, that part coos, "Wanna get out of here?"
Drive (2011)
Described as "the Driver," Gosling's hair is modeled after Steve McQueen's. Basically, it takes the traditional schoolboy part and messes it up as if he had been driving with the window down for a while. But the left part is the mirror image of McQueen's right, underlying the film's archetype subversion.
The Ides of March (2011)
The clear left part points to the film's political leanings. Gosling came in with a left part, but even a John 3:16 rainbow wig magically parts to the left when in close proximity to George Clooney.
Gangster Squad (2013)
Considering the film's forties setting, Gosling's part is historically accurate. More than that, if we assume right means evil and left means good, the part's placement somewhere between left and center suggests a good character with a touch of evil. Also, as was mentioned before, it suggests that Gosling's got a really oval-shaped head.

Now those damned Ren-Fair kids have taken things too far. Writes Timothy Stenovec at the Huffington Post:
An Oregon man is in critical condition after being infected with the plague, the Oregonian reports.
The man was bitten by a cat on Saturday, June 2, while trying to remove a dead mouse from the feline's mouth, according to the Crook County Department of Public Health and the Oregonian. The man checked himself into a hospital the following Friday.
The Oregon Department of Public Health confirmed on Thursday that the unidentified man, who's in his 50s, has tested positive for Yersinia pestis, the same bacteria that was responsible for the pandemic that decimated Europe's population in the 14th century.
The cat, which was a stray that had lived in the neighborhood for a number of years, has since died. Its body has been sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for testing…
